Sofas; given the design boom in this era, there are thousands of varieties in the market that can cater to our needs, aesthetics, customized options and many more.

When it comes to interiors, sofas are an integral part of the decor, aesthetic elements and a major attractive option to complete the look.

Well, sofas alone cannot bring in the ambiance but cushions are an integral to add that extra beauty to any sofa.

Even an old and worn out sofa can get some great makeover just by adding right size and textured cushions. Just like sofas, cushions also have a wide variety range and very big market. This post brings you some sofas styled with complementing cushions and you can notice the glamour they add in.

When I take up design, I make sure to find some unique variety of cushions not only to add glamour but also some times to camouflage the client's existing stuff which may not be great picks (be it a sofa or a seating).

Hope you liked the variations and got inspired with the new styles. Even a simple sofa can be transformed into a piece of art with beautiful cushions.

This beautiful space has stolen my heart...I was so smitten by the interiors which elegantly juxtaposed ethnic elements and modern day needs. Antonia Graham is the owner of the space which is located in Goa. Featured in this month's Elle Decor magazine, entire home carries simple hues without overshadowing the elements.

What is most attractive is the central courtyard of the building, many old style homes in the south Indian villages still do have this type of courtyard which not only takes in the light but also creates a spacious feeling.

Many times I mentioned that interiors are clustered with many decorative objects which take away the actual functionality. However this space seems to use the right amount of objects in right places with least cluster.

With a simple colour pallette and structural elements made out of traditional materials, the interior hues bring back so many childhood memories to many of us.

Canopy bed was an integral part of our grand parents homes, and it was passed as legacy to the next generations until late 80s.

I have always had great liking for canopy beds, and in process of getting one made.
